Director Mye Hoang | USA | 90 min
An emotional and dramatic coming-of-age story of Viette (Mye Hoang), a Vietnamese-American teenager who dreams of breaking free from her oppressive household to pursue her personal desires and forbidden love. Balancing life on the edge of two opposite worlds, will Viette ever follow her heart, or will the consequences be too overwhelming?
VIETTE is the directorial and acting feature debut of the founder of Asian Film Festival of Dallas and former San Diego Asian Film Foundation Artistic Director, Mye Hoang. This brave and edgy drama is largely based on the true experience of Mye, who hopes to convey a perspective from an Asian American female affected by the traditional Asian morals that value suffering and sacrifice in a female and double alienation in the Western society. The film won the Audience Choice Award at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2012.
